<p>Thank you for your inquiry regarding the delay in your October SAT scores. Your scores are on hold for a review of the essay section. This kind of review occurs when the readers who score the essays find similarities between essays and published content. I will be sending you a letter to advise you of the results of the review within the next few weeks. If you would like I can email you the letter when it is available.
Thank you.</p>
<p>can someone explain pleaasee…does that mean that my october scores are cancelleds or can be cancelled ?
i have reaally put a lot of effort in this test…please help</p>
<p>That you would be accused of plagiarizing published contents on the essay is weird,
although perhaps not unheard-of. If it’s been two months now, that means they’re taking the case very seriously and scrutinizing your essay very thoroughly. Sadly, you should be prepared for a possible cancellation of your score. You also need to ask yourself if you did indeed just memorize entire sentences or paragraphs from a published book or from the Web and write them verbatim on the essay. (Of course, it wouldn’t be wise to admit it here and maybe you did so unintentionally). It’s still strange, however, because kids do it all the time and even blatantly distort facts. So why have they singled you out in particular? Nobody knows the answer to that, except for perhaps the investigating committee assigned to your case. My advice is to just be patient and wait, as they will get back to you shortly. As depressing as that may sound, that is all you can do at the moment. Good luck.</p>
<p>Moreover, there are two graders who skim your essay holistically in 1-2 minutes, so what you wrote must have immediately stood out to one of or even both of the graders, and they either felt that a portion of what you wrote was grossly disproportionate with the rest of the essay or saw the same contents before in some type of published work.</p>
<p>Your case or essay rather is still being investigated. Doesn’t mean they’ve cancelled it yet, but they most definitely can and will if they think you’re a plagiarizing cheat.</p>
